Master Critic Review

Yasouvlaki 7.9
Upper West Side (Central)
Greek taverna on Amsterdam known for souvlaki skewers, gyros, spanakopita, and salads that lean bright and herb-forward. Diners treat it as a flexible option for casual dinners, takeout platters, and unfussy Greek comfort food built around grilled meats and classic mezzes.
Must-Try Dishes: Pork Gyro Platter, Spanakopita (Spinach & Feta Pie), Chicken Thigh Souvlaki Sandwich
